Influenced or Informed? A Note from Our Founder

These days, it’s hard to know what’s genuine and what’s just a paid promotion. Every week, a new influencer is promoting a new brand—not necessarily because they believe in it, but because it pays. As an influencer myself, I get it. Many make their living this way, and I don’t blame them—but I do wish there was more authenticity and transparency.

Earlier in my career as a model, I was paid to promote products I had never even used—some I didn’t like at all. I’d show up on set, hold a product I had just been handed, and smile as if it were the secret to my skin. In reality, it was just another gig to pay the bills. When influencing became a thing. I felt so empowered to finally be in a position to share products that I actually use and love. But I know firsthand: this industry runs on money, not always integrity.

That’s why I created The Golden Secrets—to build something real. Something rooted in wellness, intention, and truth. And the results speak for themselves.

Even some of the biggest celebrities in the world use our products—not because they’re paid to, but because they genuinely love them. In fact, a handful have since launched their own brands, inspired by what they discovered here. And while there are plenty of copycats out there, nothing compares to the original.
Why?
**Because it’s superiorly formulated—**and it works. Period.

Our growth has been slow, steady, and rooted in real transformation—not hype. While we’ve recently started running ads to expand our reach, our foundation remains grassroots, and our community remains our greatest ambassador.

We take immense pride in our health-conscious, results-driven customers. Our testimonials come from real verified users, not paid actors or influencers. Even the models you see in our photos are longtime fans of the brand.

Meanwhile, many major beauty companies invest millions into PR campaigns, magazine features, and celebrity endorsements. With the right budget, almost anyone can be voted “Best in the World.” But marketing doesn't equal efficacy.

So the next time you're influenced, take a moment to dig deeper—especially when it comes to skincare. Here’s how to spot what’s real:

1. Read the reviews. Verified buyer testimonials are honest, unfiltered, and speak louder than any ad.

2. Know who's behind the brand. Learn who formulated the products and what inspired them. Do their values align with yours?

3. Look for real results. Brands that run customer surveys and share data are proud of their performance. (You’ll find ours listed under each product.)

4. Check out the founder. What does their skin look like? Are they using their own products—or hiding behind paid models?

5. Understand the values. At TGS, we’re committed to transparency, clean ingredients, sustainability, and intentional creation—from seed to skin.

6. See if they give back. Every brand has a responsibility. Since day one, we’ve used our platform to inspire positive change and offer products that go far beyond skin-deep.

The Golden Secrets isn’t just skincare. It’s a lifestyle. A legacy. A daily ritual rooted in integrity, results, and true self-love.
Thank you for being a part of it.
